I do believe that many mothers experience loss and grief when breastfeeding 
ends - whether that decision was there own or not.  The "guilt" women say 
they feel for not having reached their own breastfeeding goals is often 
rather disappointment and grief.  Many times I think it would be healthier 
to experience anger towards a health care system that does not support 
mothers and breastfeeding and is still riddled with myth-information.
